TetR expression under glucose limiting conditions
This device, which is in principle an invertor, produces the tetracyline repressor (TetR) (BBa_C0040) under glucose limiting conditions using the pCaiF promoter (BBa_K398326). The TetR used has an extra LVA tag, resulting in faster degredation and so quicker responses to changes in glucose concentrations. This device was used as an invertor to shut off methyl salicylate production (BBa_K1060003) in the absence of honeydew produced by aphids.

tetracycline repressor from transposon Tn10 (+LVA)
Elowitz, M. B. Transport, Assembly, and Dynamics in Systems of Interacting Proteins. Thesis, Princeton Univ., Princeton (1999)
Coding region for the TetR protein without the Ribosome Binding Site. Modified with an LVA tail for rapid degradation of the protein and faster fall time for the emission. TetR binds to the pTet regulator (BBa_R0040). aTc (anhydrotetracycline) binds to TetR and inhibits its operation.

It has been modified to include a rapid degradation LVA tail, and includes the BioBrick standard assembly head and tail restriction sites. The RBS has been removed. The stop codon has been changed from TAA to a double stop codon TAATAA.

Promoter region from E.coli containing the binding site for the global regulator Crp.
This is a copy of the Part:B0014. Only here the part is cloned in the standard vector pSB1C3 instead of the pSB1AK3.

Bidirectional transcriptional terminator consisting of a 22 bp stem-loop.
In the naturally-occuring sequence there is a mismatch in the stem of the stem loop. This can be corrected via an A->G mutation (at position 40 -- sequence coordinate/not MFOLD coordinate). The above sequence does not reflect this mutation (but the MFOLD image does). This terminator's location cannot be found using some inverted repeat detectors like PALINDROME because it is too short and contains a mismatch. This one was found with the help of Tom Knight. It lies between two coding regions that point towards eachother.

Transcription terminator for the E.coli RNA polymerase.
Suggested by Sri Kosuri and Drew Endy as a high efficiency terminator. The 5' end cutoff was placed immediately after the TAA stop codon and the 3' end cutoff was placed just prior to the RBS of Gene 1.4 (before AAGGAG). Use anywhere transcription should be stopped when the gene of interest is upstream of this terminator.
